"Research and education to promote understanding and conservation of marine ecosystems." |
Our efforts focus on Humpback Whales and Minke Whales off British
Columbia's coast. Priorities are studying entanglement rates and foraging
strategies. Additional work includes studying Killer Whale foraging success. |
Education is key to our strategy to reduce risks to marine species. Our work includes the See a Blow? Go Slow! campaign to reduce the risk of collision between whales and boaters and How to Save a Whale which educates about whale entanglement. We conduct workshops for marine naturalists and provide public presentations to increase engagement and positive action for marine life. Sign up for our blog. |
One of our primary goals is to directly reduce threats to marine wildlife by responding to reports of entanglement, vessel strikes and other human-caused incidents. Call the Incident Reporting Line at 1 800 465 4336 to report entanglement or disturbance of a marine mammal in British Columbia. |
